Chapter 108: Surrendering the Yellow Turban (5)

Under the city of Beihai, the Yellow Turban camp.

Facing Zhang Yao, the only leader of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, Guo Jia's face did not change, and asked in a deep voice: "Leader Zhang, dare to ask the food in the army, can it support half a month?" ”

"So what?" Zhang Yao frowned and snorted coldly.

"With a population of 160,000 and human lives at stake, does Chief Zhang really want to ignore their life and death?" Guo Jia snorted coldly and said: "If I understand correctly, the original intention of the Taiping Taoist mission is that everyone has food to eat, every family has surplus food, and they are not oppressed or humiliated. It was the great sage and good teacher who put forward the Taiping doctrine that won the support of the people of the world, but how did you do it in the end? ”

"Now the general trend has gone, even if Leader Zhang does not consider the life and death of the people, he should also consider the road of the second half of his life.

"And this Miss Diao Chan, who is naturally beautiful and has outstanding appearance, even if she can't be a royal lady, but it is enough to marry into the Houmen family and enjoy a burst of glory and wealth, are you willing to watch her sink step by step, and finally die tragically in the chaos?"

In the face of Guo Jia's scorching momentum, Zhang Yao, who was already dead, was even more bleak and did not say a word for a long time.

"Okay, you Guo Jia, I have the ability to let you be a lobbyist, but you were bewitched by Han Lie and came to say to our sister, no matter how bright your tongue is, you can't shake my will to follow my sister." Diao Chan glared at Guo Jia angrily and refuted.

"Chief Zhang, Miss Diao Chan, there is no need to be discouraged. General Han may have promised that as long as you order surrender, even if you want to leave, he will definitely not force you to stay, and will even send him entangled, so Jia hereby guarantees that there is absolutely no problem with the safety of your sisters. Guo Jia saw that Zhang Yao had been shaken, so he threw out an olive branch again.

"The people have indeed suffered too much with us, and now that the general trend has gone, since General Han is willing to take them in, let them all surrender, and at the last moment, I will atone for myself a little." Zhang Yao raised his hand to stop Diao Chan's words and resolutely made a decision.

Over the years, in order to avenge her father Zhang Jiao and complete her father's will, she gave up her life and forgot to die, and trained batch after batch of dead soldiers, but the result was still defeat after defeat.

As Guo Jia said, is all this the original intention of the Taiping mission? Obviously not, even if she struggles now, there will be no way out at all, not to mention half a month's food in the army, even if it is barely used for seven or eight days, more than 100,000 horses, once the food is cut off, the result does not need to be described.

And now that Guan Hai is dead, the real elite of the army's descendants has been defeated, and no one in the army can stabilize the morale of the army.

Although Zhang Yao is not very old, she can't intervene in commanding the army because she is a woman, but she can still grasp the change in the morale of the army, at this time, for this army, surrender is obviously their only way out.

"LinkedIn Ming, your decision today is enough to make you famous in history." Guo Jiazuo bowed and said sincerely.

"Mr. Guo is sharp-tongued and cool-headed, and he deserves to be a strategist, but unfortunately there is no such talent as Mr. Xiang in our army, otherwise he would not have come to this point." Zhang Yao sighed, shook his head with complicated eyes.

The defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, the fundamental core reason, is indeed the most important relationship with the lack of scholars' advice, although the situation is great, but the lack of a set of system of rebels, since ancient times, will not last long.

And the support and participation of the children of the sergeant clan is obviously crucial, governing the locality, promoting production and people's livelihood, these things are not to fight, as long as there is a blood spirit, they can move forward bravely.

"Leader Zhang has an overreputation." Guo Jia replied humbly, and said: "Now that the various departments of Leader Zhang have gathered, in order not to cause disputes, Leader Zhang can go out of the camp tomorrow morning and read out the Han army's pardon for all crimes, so that they can lay down their weapons and armor with peace of mind, and they can get relief from food, and even distribute benefits such as fields and houses." ”

"It's worth coming prepared, everything is ready, it's a good means, it seems that I really underestimated you. Say, Han Lie, what official position did he promise you? Diao Chan angrily scolded Guo Jia, this nerd who had been under house arrest for several months, now it seems that he is obviously a genius of the world, but it is a pity that this person has never thought of contributing to himself, otherwise their sisters would not have come to such a point.

"Why should Miss Diao Chan be sarcastic with me? General Han asked me to tell Miss that she was looking forward to each other, and hoped that Miss would not forget her true friendship and be able to return early. Guo Jia smiled indifferently and slowly said what Han Lie wanted him to bring.

"Sister Wen Ji is good?" Thinking of Cai Wenji, who regarded herself as her own sister, Diao Chan couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and asked herself rhetorically.

The next day, at the end of the day.

The Yellow Turban rebels, the elderly, weak, women and children under Zhang Yao's headquarters under Beihai City, totaling 167,835 people, all surrendered to Han Lie's headquarters.

Coupled with the rebels captured on the battlefield yesterday, the total population of Han Lie this time is no less than 180,000, and with the population of 130,000 in Licheng, the population in Han Lie's hands has exceeded 300,000.

With a population of 300,000, once completely settled, Han Lie's strength would be enough to feed 15,000 elite soldiers, and he would really have the strength of Xuzhou at that time.

The situation outside Beihai City has changed abruptly, although Kong Rong on the city head has a faint feeling, but he doesn't know the whole story, and the soldiers and horses in the city don't dare to go out of the city to test.

In order to collect this group of Yellow Turban population, Han Lie did not send people into the city to deliver the news for a while, until three days later, when the rear army led by Xu Sheng and them escorted the grain and grass to the city of Beihai, Han Lie, who had calmed the hearts of the army, sent Tai Shici to the city to inform him of the surrender of the Yellow Turban.

Knowing that the Yellow Turban rebels were surrendered by Han Lie, Kong Rong and the civil and military officials in the city, after the surprise, they were afraid for a while, obviously for them, the current Han Lie already had enough strength to capture Beihai City.

If Han Lie raised troops to attack Beihai, neither Kong Rong nor Wu Anguo had the slightest certainty of defending the city, so when Tai Shici sent Han Lie's letter, saying that he would borrow 50,000 stone of grain as rations to return to Licheng, Kong Rong and the gentry of the clan in the city did not hesitate at all, and gave Han Lie enough 55,000 stone of grain.

The speed was completely unexpected.

"Lord, it seems that Kong Beihai doesn't want us to stay in the city, 55,000 stone of grain was delivered to the camp in half a day, which is a lot of expenditure for Beihai after the war." Seeing the food sent by the people of Beihai City, Guo Jia, who had been appointed by Han Lie as a military advisor to sacrifice wine, smiled with a relaxed expression.

"Although Kong Beihai is known as a virtuous person, but he does not understand current affairs, he does not know people's hearts, Beihai will fall into the hands of others sooner or later, but this person will definitely not be me, if I want to annex Beihai, even if he drives it away, I will not leave." Han Lie smiled faintly and said, "Order all the armies to pull out the camp tomorrow and return to Licheng." ”

In the few days under Beihai City, Han Lie was not idle, with the assistance of Guo Jia, he divided the elderly, children, women, and young Zhuang among the hundreds of thousands of people into several square teams, the old people and children rode ox carts and donkey carts, the women were responsible for pushing carts, some were responsible for food, and Qing Zhuang was responsible for carrying food, and the arrangements of each team were only orderly.

And the main force of the Red Flame Army has also been replenished with 3,000 new troops, and these 4,000 people are all the core elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army's Guanhai Department, and there are 300 of them who are the original Yellow Turban Broadsword soldiers.

The 4,000 fresh force added Han Lie's left and right front and middle four battalions to 1,500 people. When the army was opened, Xu Huang's front camp of 1,500 people opened the way, Zhao Yun's left camp was behind the palace, Dian Wei's right battalion was responsible for the patrol of the army, and Han Lie's middle camp walked with the brigade.

Under Han Lie's persuasion, Zhang Yao and Diao Chan finally chose to temporarily follow Han Lie to Licheng to live temporarily, and then decided to stay.

Nearly 200,000 men and horses stretched for more than ten miles, and the daily march was only twenty or thirty miles, which was more than many times slower than the speed of the 100-mile daily march to Beihai.

When such a marching speed came down, half a month had passed when it reached the territory of Langya. At this time, the news that Han Lie had surrendered the 200,000 Yellow Turban rebels in Beihai had already reached Xuzhou.

Knowing the news that Han Lie had returned from surrendering 200,000 yellow turbans, the discussion on the Xuzhou Thorn Mansion about this incident also began.

"Ming Gong, the battle report sent by Han Ziyang, does it say that the Yellow Turban rebels who surrendered will be handed over to the Department of Assassination for processing?" Although Wang Lang's expression did not have any different colors, he was extremely anxious in his heart, it was obvious that the pawn Han Lie, once he digested the 200,000 Yellow Turban rebels, he would completely become a tyrant in Xuzhou, and who else would be able to restrain him at that time?

Tao Qian was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "The battle report was sent three days ago, and as for the prisoner, Han Ziyang did not mention it. Jingxing thinks it's inappropriate? ”

Jing Xing is Wang Lang's word, seeing Tao Qian asking, Wang Lang said in a deep voice: "What's wrong, Han Ziyang's move is really a rebellion, and his crime should be punished." ”

"Lord Wang, it's a bit serious, right now Han Ziyang has just won the battle, and people are still on the way to turn, if they are guilty because of the victory, won't this make the soldiers feel cold?" Mi Zhu had business dealings with Han Lie, and he had a good sense of Han Lie, so he spoke out.

"Mi Zizhong, you have a good personal relationship with Han Ziyang, who in Xuzhou doesn't know? Besides, what I am saying has nothing to do with winning the battle, and who here does not understand? Wang Lang was full of color and said angrily.

"What Lord Wang said is very true." Cao Bao has always been on the same front as Wang Lang and maintains the strength of the Xuzhou clan, so he immediately spoke: "Han Ziyang won 200,000 people, but did not hand it over, his heart can be seen, if it is not contained, it will be the root cause of the disaster in Xuzhou, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Please Ming Gong adopt Chen Hanyu's opinion, and immediately send an order to Zang Ba Sun Guan and others to weaken Han Ziyang in Licheng and Bandao, so that it will be the blessing of Xuzhou." Cao Hong, another representative general of the Cao family, got up and opened his mouth to put forward the strategy proposed by Chen Qi some time ago to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.

"Han Yugong, what do you think?" Tao Qian is now in good health, and he doesn't want to be in trouble in Xuzhou in his lifetime, which will also be an intention, so he set his eyes on Chen Qi, who has never spoken.
